Crohn’s illness and ulcerative colitis is famous as Inflammatory Bowel Disease. According to Crohn’s Colitis Australia, inflammation in a colon, rectum and gastrointestinal tract can turn so serious that sufferers need to be hospitalised and can need surgery.

Giumelli pronounced she was beholden since her illness could have been “so most worse”.

“I have small astonishing bouts here and there — it does worry me — though we wish to uncover people there is no good forgive to stop we to do what we wish to do. Not only Crohn’s though with anything,” she said.

Giumelli fell ill during a outing to Germany when she was 20 years old.

“I got utterly ill. we couldn’t travel and we couldn’t eat,” she said.

Today, Giumelli has shrugged off a stigmatised condition after she was announced as a envoy and face of Crohn’s Colitis Australia.

“I wish to lift recognition and teach people about IBD and inspire those who humour from this illness to live intrepid and don’t let anything stop we from doing or achieving what we want.

“Maybe one day we can find a resolution to this awful disease. In a meantime we wish to inspire everybody of all ages to live their life to their fullest. I’m impossibly propitious to have an extraordinary group of specialists who have authorised me to live my life and have worked with me on this journey.”
